Abstract

In some embodiments, a transaction-related communication system includes one or more receiving modules configured for receiving a first item of inventory transaction information from a customer-facing interface, and receiving a second item of inventory transaction information from a merchant-facing point-of-sale interface. In some embodiments, the transaction-related communication system includes an inventory coordination module configured for rendering in a common internal format the first item of inventory transaction information from the customer-facing interface, and rendering in the common internal format the second item of inventory transaction information from the merchant-facing point-of-sale interface. In some embodiments, the transaction-related communication system includes an inventory coordination module configured for transmitting the second item of inventory transaction information for inventory transaction execution by the second inventory resource, and transmitting the first item of inventory transaction information for inventory transaction execution by a first inventory resource.
